Quilt Barn project

A group of peoplpe in Alcona County have started a Quilt Barn project. Several area residents have volunteered to be host to a quilt block on a building on their property. I haven't taken the time to check out all of the buildings but I did see this one on Highway M-72 last week. I was in Harrisville for a needle turn applique class at Holly Hock Quilt Shop. (Thanks Barb for the great class). The shop has kits of all of the blocks that are out in the community and you can make a quilt with all of the blocks that are featured on the barns. I think that sounds like fun!!

About Me

My name is Pam. I was the Coordinator for the Quilter's Retreats at Thunder Bay Resort. The Resort is no longer hosting Quilter's Retreats. I am now enjoying my time with my family and my sewing machine.
My husband Steve and I were married on September 20, 1975. We have 3 wonderful children, Mike, Greg and Heather, 2 great daughters-in-love, Tasha and Rachel and 7 absolutely perfect grandchildren, Cameryn, London, Allie, Gavin, Grady, Kingsley and Liam.
I have been a quilt maker for about 26 years. I learned the basics of quilt making from a group of Church ladies as we made a raffle quilt. That was prior to rotary cutters, really neat rulers, fusible web and all of the other cool gadgets we quilters now use.
One of my favorite sayings is “I don’t count a day complete till fabric, thread and needle meet.” I can consider most of my days “complete” although every now and then it just isn’t possible to get some stitching in. Hand quilting and hand piecing are still my preferred methods so I usually have a project or two available to work on.
